I applaud you Dan as you work on improvements to the family home for your children and soon to take on the exciting repairs of your fantastic Chateau! I am so excited about all this for you. Look after yourself.
Dan you are one of the hardest-working men I have ever seen, and it goes so fast with what you start! So glad your boys will remember how hard their dad worked, I know they love you beyond measure as do you them!
I just love the music you select for your videos. I watch a lot of Utube, and I have to mute it when the music comes on. Your videos are good, and I love the music. Keep on going on.
Happy ☘️ St Patrick’s Day! I think someone told Terry at Escape to the Dream that you need a camper. They do have more than one. Getting all those nagging bits done is a step forward.
Blue paint. Proof that Dan woz ere. 😂 Lots of strumming and progress on a stone wall. That's plenty for one day, especially with the travel, filming, editing, reading comments - or not.
Great job Dan. You’re gonna be a great resource for anyone wanting info on Airbnb in France 😂😂😂Glad you can stand up in it and see ya tomorrow. Enjoy your time with boys. Love the music choices 😍😘
The more I think about the cabin, the more I hope you'll build it, and keep it.........even after you move into the chateau. A cozy cabin in the woods right there on your property would be an amazing teenage hangout for the boys someday!
Coming along nicely :) , Get some goats and chickens to save ya self from having to keep clearing the undergrowth , the milk and eggs will be handy for a morning brew and sarnie too ;)
Happy St Patrick Day it snowed over night in Kansas you keep me learning new things with fixing up everything. Not sure how I will use this new knowledge but I so enjoy what you do.
Dan you just amaze me. You made me so happy to see your hardhat. I guess all that nagging set in huh? Just tiny little suggestions is all. It just shows how much we all love you and we want you to be around for a very long time for the boys. I’m glad you’ll be off with the boys tomorrow. You put so much work in one day enough to be three days for most people. I always feel a little guilty when I watch you thinking I didn’t get enough in today. You are my guilty pleasure. I get to sit down relax and watch you. I guess there’s always tomorrow. Sending lots of love from California.🍀🤗🍀🤟🏻😎🏰🇺🇸
I've done video work and know a lot of effort goes on behind the scenes that no one ever knows about. Plus we know you're a hard worker Dan. That sense of accomplishment is fine tho. Watching you work is like reliving my childhood, when my father flipped houses (often the ones we were living in).
Great to see this project being pushed along by your continued efforts. You are making a huge effort to just 'get it done right'. I suspect that you are getting it more correctly built and finished by any of the previous builders or modifiers.
Love seeing all these jobs you do. We don’t have these solid and charming structures in the US. ⭐️⭐️ Billy and Michael Petherick saw a gypsy wagon house for sale in what I is believe the Loire region. Dunno if it’s still available or something you could use and then maybe sell it to Billy at a later date.
I agree. Excellent parents. Kids are doing great. All those rocks? So good, Dan. Many, many good things coming your way, Dan. You will look back at this time and wonder how you did it.
Absolutely have a new respect for Ancient stone and pointing Not that I have any here at mine 😢 We will see you tomorrow….Have a amazing day with the boys Does everyone else find themselves turning out the rest of the world… with a coffee and cookies in hand glued to watching Dans every move 🤣 Or is it just me 🤷♀️🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️🥰
@@annemackenzie7295 I knoooow I find myself so excited to see what this one guy can achieve in his day … the skills and knowledge is outstanding… Lordy if I had his drive and talent …I’ll be dangerous🤣
@@Lady.MD67 woooooooow snow ⛄️ I’m melting down here in New Zealand ,it’s so hot 🥵 and muggy …We are heading into our autumn… this afternoon I’m attacking my woodshed as a huge load of firewood is arriving at 4 pm … I’ve got a coffee and then out to creak on 🫣🙃
It's too bad you don't read your comments, you could save yourself so much time and effort. Ive written this befoe but will give it another shot. It pains me to watch lol! All of my family have been in masonry business for 70 years. What they do is put the cement and stone on and then while cement is still wet...use a DAMP masonry sponge (my cheap cousin even uses the sponge they put in old car seats lol) you put the sponge in clean water, squeeze the water out and just brush over the stone to clean it (no brush needed unless dried on already) and then use sponge to smooth the cement you just threw on with same technique (wet sponge, squeeze to remove all the water). Just have to keep dipping sponge in the water and cleaning when it gets to much on it.Comes out beautiful! And a lot easier! If any cement residue is still on stone after dried. The damp sponge will remove it providing you did it once before drying
Living in all these different places is giving you a really good experience in what you like and don't like in design and fittings. Your cabin is going to be fantastic. Any thought on building your cabin to later be used as playhouse for your boys and/or a get away space when they are teens?
Hey Big Balls Dan! Have you thought about as you’re heading into the warmer weather and longer days! Just getting a trailer tent or something until you have sorted a cabin etc. That way you’ll be able to get more out of your time at the chateau. A 4 hour round trip is a big ask on yourself bro.
I admire Europeans who instead of demolishing the old structures they repair them. In America, that doesn’t seem to happen very often. It’s pretty sad honestly. Your boys will enjoy spending time with and Annalise regardless of where that may be! It isn’t a structure that makes a loving home it’s who you build memories with and who genuinely cares for you be it through food, housing, or financial. Another issue here in America is how poorly our child care systems are! People are killing each other and their children for pretty senseless reasons! Enjoy your time with your boys Dan as they will be grown before you realize it! Great video as usual! Can I ask if you wouldn’t mind, how exactly did you find the Chateau? I would love to know the story on that and excuse my noseiness but what did it cost? Would love to find one and restore so this question is completely self serving lol! See you tomorrow! 😊
🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀great job! A little bit at a time. ❤❤❤❤Have lots of fun with the little guys. Maybe you could plant some flowers in the boxes near the door? What do u think? Whatever you do, just know I’m cheering you on! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Dan my man. You are always working. I’m glad you got tomorrow off with the boys. Fun stuff is always good to have. Honey, take care and stay safe. Love ya 🍺🌞👍❤️🕊🌹🌈🎈🙏😇🇺🇸
I was curious, when you go back to working on the chateau, do you plan to rebuild it exactly the way it was, or do you plan to rebuild it with your own personal and modern touches?
Have you thought about a round house that’s easy to put up and will save you all that money on rent? A camper even. Something that will allow you to sleep there.
I'm no mason but did I see you just plop down some mix on some dirt and start adding stone and mortar ? I don't think that's kosher building practice. Thanks for the video, see you tomorrow. 🇺🇸
I applaud you Dan as you work on improvements to the family home for your children and soon to take on the exciting repairs of your fantastic Chateau! I am so excited about all this for you. Look after yourself.
Looking good, finishing that wall it will balance the room so well. Enjoy your day off with the boys, have fun. 💕🇦🇺
Dan you are one of the hardest-working men I have ever seen, and it goes so fast with what you start! So glad your boys will remember how hard their dad worked, I know they love you beyond measure as do you them!
I live the word "proper". You use it a lot. Guess we would use, "right". I like proper. Very UK. Brilliant!!!!
I just love the music you select for your videos. I watch a lot of Utube, and I have to mute it when the music comes on. Your videos are good, and I love the music. Keep on going on.
Well, well, well... look whose mom is posting comments to Dan!!! My momma! Good music Dan. Feel flattered; she rarely comments on videos. ❤
The day with the boys won’t be as hard on your back and shoulders. Lots of hard work again 👏👏👏
That was indeed a good day's work! Little bit here & there consistently and that's the way the cookie crumbles! Well done!
So glad you get to spend lots of quality time with those precious boys of yours! They are so curious and yet so well mannered🥰. A real joy.❣️
Very satisfying to watch you building up the wall stone by stone
Another great blog that's well worth watching. Thanks Dan.
Happy ☘️ St Patrick’s Day! I think someone told Terry at Escape to the Dream that you need a camper. They do have more than one. Getting all those nagging bits done is a step forward.
I have been hinting at this too :)
Julia... you wouldn't happen to be Canadian... from the prairies?
I've nagged about this idea a few times as well...
@@girlnorthof60 No, I’m from the Deep South. I have relatives in Canada but about 8 times removed😉
I hinted that as well, that Dan needs a camper
The details are looking great . Everyday you get closer to finishing the new addition. Enjoy the boys ...they are little only once. See you tomorrow 😊
Blue paint. Proof that Dan woz ere. 😂

Good job, once again! Dan you are really amazing, so many talents! Have fun with the boys too!
The more I think about the cabin, the more I hope you'll build it, and keep it.........even after you move into the chateau. A cozy cabin in the woods right there on your property would be an amazing teenage hangout for the boys someday!
I was thinking the same thing! Or even AirBnB it for some additional income.
Maybe for the grand kids ….theres a LOT of work there!
I enjoy your videos. I really like the music you play. I'll see you....tomorrow.
Coming along nicely :) , Get some goats and chickens to save ya self from having to keep clearing the undergrowth , the milk and eggs will be handy for a morning brew and sarnie too ;)
Love, love love the music!
You always amaze me with the amount of work you do. I get exhausted just watching. It will be awesome watching your progress.

looking great at the farmhouse 👍🏾😉
As always, another good video, with good music too. Enjoy your time with those adorable boys.

Your a busy man Dan. You seriously NEED that Caravan! Blessings
Gooood morning to you. I really look forward to this . Thanks for the vlog
Every little bit of work you do counts. You just keep on keeping on.
Good Morning from Sydney Australia Dan. Loving your work

Not exactly just next door . I’m sure there’s something closer .
You’re so brave. To manage all the things. Chapeau 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👍
Dan, I think your culinary skills are paying off. Instead of frosting on a cake, you're working with mortar and rocks.
I’m thinking you would be a great baker, particularly icing cakes with all this fab pointing that you do!🇨🇦❤️🍀
I was a baker!
Chuckle, chuckle!! LOL. 🤣
A great day enjoy the family this weekend thanks for sharing
Someone else suggested this Dan Daily & I agree .. take the weekend off, go on treat yourself 👍😊
Yea he doing it now he does work hard 😊 xx❤
Love watching you work 🤗👍🍰☕👍
Love Sue ❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
Looking better and better.
Fabulous Friday, Dan. I hope the repair therapy worked. You and the mixer are inseparable it seems. Continuer...
I agree. Excellent parents. Kids are doing great. All those rocks? So good, Dan. Many, many good things coming your way, Dan. You will look back at this time and wonder how you did it.
Looks great! Enjoy your time with your boys!
Have a great time with your boys. They are little cherubs. Looks great what you did. Ever thought of hiring a caravan for the Chateau?
Great days work well done Dan you deserve a day off
Absolutely have a new respect for Ancient stone and pointing
Not that I have any here at mine 😢
We will see you tomorrow….Have a amazing day with the boys
Does everyone else find themselves turning out the rest of the world… with a coffee and cookies in hand glued to watching Dans every move 🤣
Or is it just me 🤷♀️🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️🥰
No, it’s not just you. I’m here in Scotland doing the same thing. Love it, great way to decompress after a busy week 😀🏴

Me too! Here it Canada, with a nice cup of coffee. To much snow to do anything outside. Love watching.
@@Lady.MD67 woooooooow snow ⛄️

@@gaelenecole4053 lucky you, can't wait for springtime. 😃
Wait I need my coffee.... Greetings from SA.
Please Dan when handling the dry concrete etc, wear a mask. That dust is dangerous and can have long term effect on your health
For the cabin Dan don t forget the paperwork. You need a construction building permit for it anything higher than 9m2 needs one.

Perhaps even rent it out for some income. I’m sure lots of people would like to stay there.
Your talents and ability to overcome the hurdles are so inspiring!
ooh them steps made me happy x happy st patricks 😎what a nite guinesss and rural france vlog xx

Enjoy your weekend with the boys Dan.
Make it easy on yourself, put a tarp or something down so you don’t have to keep cleaning up the floor surfaces 👍🏻
Just love your music!
Great work on the house, you are a talented guy. Have a great weekend.
The cottage is looking good!!!
Dan, in U.S. we enjoy flying kites, weather permitting. The triangular shaped always seem to fly higher. I'm watching ads. cgzone8
Love your work and your music!
Nice vibe, Dan. Short n sweet. 🎶💙🚽🪨🧗
Good luck in all things. Many good wishes.
A little here, a little there. Balancing family, repairing the rural home and commencing work on the chateaux. Small steps.
Great job Dan 🥰 and I’ll see you tomorrow 🥰
Always busy, Dan. Hope you have fun with the boys tomorrow
you da man dan.......... keep up the great work👍👍👍
🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀great job! A little bit at a time. ❤❤❤❤Have lots of fun with the little guys. Maybe you could plant some flowers in the boxes near the door? What do u think?
Whatever you do, just know I’m cheering you on! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Dan, Where do you get your energy from? How do you stay motivated? You are amazing!
He's young. 😉
Have a great time with the little fellas!😍
We have a product in the states called “goof off” that might take that blue paint off.
Dan my man. You are always working. I’m glad you got tomorrow off with the boys. Fun stuff is always good to have. Honey, take care and stay safe. Love ya 🍺🌞👍❤️🕊🌹🌈🎈🙏😇🇺🇸
You’re amazing Dan! 😊
You work so hard❤ I love watching how creative you are.
It's good you have the boys......gives you a break from the hard yakka.
You’re always busy Dan. 😊
Just call that blue paint “character” and move on!🥰👋🏼
The blue will wear off eventually.
Can't wait for u to really start working on the chateau please make the video a little longer I really enjoy them
I am enjoying watching this job be completed
Alright.....so nice! See you tomorrow!!
Every little helps, its all progress.
You deffo need a Cabin asap Good luck Dan
None thing better than watch someone else do the yard work
Good to see you Dan ❤😊❤
You are doing great restoration work!! 🎉
Your kids are adorable!
I was curious, when you go back to working on the chateau, do you plan to rebuild it exactly the way it was, or do you plan to rebuild it with your own personal and modern touches?
Gosh, you work so hard
Love how you can scavenge bits at your property to build walls and roofs😂
That white tank Honda engine is a beast all around the world apparently.
Have you thought about a round house that’s easy to put up and will save you all that money on rent? A camper even. Something that will allow you to sleep there.

Dan, crackin vlog as always..
Dan did you have a gator on so you don't eat so much dust? Steps look awesome so does the building of the wall inside. Happy Boys day tomorrow 💙
You win every day! 🤩
Immediately it looked so different in the wood after using the trimmer.That is for me a therapeutic job to do.
